Luis Suarez has done the right thing by making peace with Liverpool and rejecting the chance to join Arsenal .

That’s the opinion of an old Anfield team-mate, who is planning to wreck the Gunners' Champions League campaign this week.

Raul Meireles played with Suarez at the Reds before moving to Chelsea and then on to Turkish club Fenerbahce – Arsenal’s play-off opponents on Wednesday.

Now, ahead of that clash, Meireles has explained why it would be a wrong career move for striker Suarez to move to the ­Emirates.

Meireles said: “My advice to Luis would be that he shouldn’t leave ­Liverpool for Arsenal.

“I know he wants to play in the Champions League and if it was Real Madrid or Bayern Munich who came for him then I could understand him wanting to leave.

“In reality, though, Arsenal are not going to win the Champions League or the Premier League so it makes no sense for him.

“My advice would be to have another season at Liverpool and wait for one of the top five clubs in Europe to approach him – because he is good enough for that, for sure.”

But it’s Fenerbahce’s massive two-legged Champions League play-off that is dominating Meireles’ thoughts.

He said: “Arsenal is a tough draw, but we know we can beat them. They have some very good players, but they have not improved like they would have wanted this ­summer. We can compete with them on a football level.

“When you consider how tough a place Turkey is to visit, we have every reason to feel confident we can beat Arsenal.

“The fans create a real atmosphere here and it is intimidating for the opposition. We are ­confident we could go and win in London if we needed to.”

But Fenerbahce will have to face a fit and highly-motivated Jack Wilshere.

The midfield star proved his fitness in the first 45 minutes of England’s 3-2 win over Scotland on Wednesday.

Wilshere said: “It feels good to have the first pre-season for a few years behind me. The real stuff starts now and I think I am match fit.

“My ankle feels good and I hope it will get even better with every game I play.

“We have a Champions League qualifier coming up and we don’t want to waste all the hard work we did last season.
